Nigel Cliff is the author of three acclaimed works of nonfiction on subjects ranging from the Cold War and Shakespeare in the 19th century to the Age of Discovery, as well as a new translation and critical edition of Marco Polo’s Travels. He is a Fellow of Harris Manchester College, Oxford and a Fellow of the Royal Literary Fund.
In 1958, a twenty-three-year-old piano prodigy from Texas named Van Cliburn traveled to Moscow to compete in the First International Tchaikovsky Competition. The Soviets had no intention of bestowing their coveted prize on an unknown American; a Soviet pianist had already been chosen to win. Yet when the gangly Texan with the shy grin took the stage and began to play, he instantly captivated an entire nation. Nigel Cliff recreates the drama and tension of the Cold War era, and brings into focus the gifted musician and deeply compelling figure whose music would temporarily bridge the divide between two dangerously hostile powers.
